Just got my CP10s charger, charges my 3s batteries no problem. When I connect my brand new turnigy nano-tech 5s I get an error "safety code 96, at exactly 49 seconds, on multiple tries. The manual makes no mention of this code. Very frustrated. Will not charge through balance+discharge, or just balance. When connecting to just balance, get code 76 right off the bat.

I would appreciate any assistance or support.

Hi:

Sorry for your troubles. Is this a new or refurbished Cellpro 10s? The latest firmware for the Cellpro 10s is v2.30. You can check this on the greeting screen when you first power up the charger. If your firmware is older, and you have the ability to update the firmware using the Charge Control Software (CCS), you could try that. Some false indications of Error 96 were addressed in more recent firmwares. Otherwise, if you can not update, or this does not solve your problem, please contact Howard Matos via email howard@fmadirect.com and he will advise you how to proceed.

I received my Cell Pro 10s back from FMA this week. Hats off to the quick turn-around and fix from Howard. Thanks Mark for the goodies too. I have put it through the paces and I must say this charger is worth every penny, great features, safe, and a must for E-RC. The software is a valuable tool and the graphing is nice for tracking battery performance.
